Mauritius communities show support for the Save Our Monkeys campaign

22/05/2014

The Save Our Monkeys team has been busy raising awareness about the plight of the long-tailed macaques in Mauritius by hosting presentations to local social and community groups. The presentations are being well received, with over 300 people attending just one event, demonstrating the concerns that the people of Mauritius have about the country's monkey trade.

Coupled with the international support that the Save Our Monkeys campaign has received, gaining support from communities within Mauritius is an important step towards increasing public pressure on the Mauritius Government to take action to stop the cruel trade in primates.
